音频下载Consider This Man 以此人为鉴
When faced with your own personal or business failures,
just consider this man.
He tried his hand at business and he failed.
So he thought,
“Well, maybe I belong in politics.”
He ran for the political office of State Legislature and guess what?
He lost.
Failed again.
OK, maybe he really did belong in business!
After all,
one business failure doesn’t mean he can’t do it.
Does it?
He went back to another business venture.
Again he failed—for the third time.
The man really did like politics.
He wanted to make a difference.
So he ran for office once again.
And this time he made it.
He was elected to the State Legislature.
But, when he ran for Speaker of the House, he lost.
Rack up another failure.
Congress?
Maybe he could be a Congressman.
Ahh, he succeeded—for one term.
But then when he ran for the second term, he lost.
Some people thought only a real loser could lose on a rerun.
However, that notion didn’t stop this man.
Several years later, he ran for the U.S. Senate.
He failed to win.
Lost again?
Can’t the man take a hint?
Obviously not!
He actually ran for Vice President of the United States.
Whoops—lost again.
Two years later he tried for the U.S.
Senate only to lose once more.
Was this man crazy?
Didn’t he realize that he was a failure?
Couldn’t he understand out-and-out rejection?
The reality was clear—
the people did not want the man in office.
Nobody was interested in him.
He was a failure.
Why couldn’t he get it?
But the man refused to accept the “reality.”
He turned his back on rejection.
He ignored failure.
Nothing was going to stop him.
He hung on to his dream,
his strong intention and his expectations of success.
He persisted.
Two years after his last defeat,
he ran for office once more.
And this time he won, and he won big!
He became the sixteenth President of the United States
and one of the most famous
and influential people in the history of the world.
So, when you’re feeling discouraged,
consider this man—Abraham Lincoln—and never,
never give up on your dreams.
Be persistent!
